Test ship, this super luxury cruise ship is a privately owned test ship.
All the most advanced technologies are used on this cruise ship, and many technologies will be verified on this ship. Then mature technologies will be summarized and transferred to other ships.
Major countries around the world also do this, including the United States. It’s just that the thing Zhang Fan played this time was a bit big, with a displacement of more than one million tons. The ship was too big.
The private sector has a development plan for the private sector. The area of the private sector is too small, and the population will not be too large in the future. Therefore, there will not be too many troops.
The army is not large in quantity and can only be improved in quality. With the development of science and technology, especially the development of artificial intelligence and robotics, global weapons and equipment have entered a new era.
In the future, a large number of unmanned equipment will be put into use. Unmanned fighter jets, unmanned battleships, unmanned combat vehicles, combat robots, etc.
When technology develops to a certain stage, the future arms competition will be based on technological capabilities and production capabilities.
This change is just like the invention of metal bullets. The invention of metal bullets turned war from an art to a cold assembly line.
Now, a new change has come. With the development of artificial intelligence and robots, future wars will be even more terrifying.
By that time, the global landscape will have undergone tremendous changes. By that time, perhaps a small country will be able to dominate the entire world.
At that time, the war will be based on production capacity. Whoever produces advanced equipment and produces more equipment will win.
The further we go, the smaller the role of humans will be. The war in the future will be a war between robots and robots.
However, if you want to develop such weapons and equipment, most countries do not have such strength.
Unmanned warfare requires many conditions. The first indispensable one is the global positioning system. Currently, there are only four global positioning systems in the world.
The most powerful ones are the American GPS and China's Beidou. As for the positioning systems of Russia and the European Union, their performance is far different from that of China and the United States.
Having a positioning system is just the most basic condition for artificial intelligence, chip manufacturing, high-precision processing, robot manufacturing, etc.
This requires too many technologies. So even if countries around the world are developing, development is still very difficult.
The private sector is at the forefront of the world in many technologies. Artificial intelligence, robotic manufacturing, new batteries, these are all things the private sector is leading the world.
The cruise ship built this time was also jointly developed by Private Land and China. Many technologies will be shared in the future. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for Private Land to build it with its own technology.
Apart from anything else, the private sector does not have any technology for the nuclear power plant, one of the core components of this luxury cruise ship.
Win-win cooperation is the way of cooperation between Private Leader and Huaxia. This kind of cooperation also makes the relationship between China and Private Leader closer.
"Chairman, we will adopt the unmanned concept for this warship. We are currently jointly developing a new generation of unmanned stealth fighter jets with China. This fighter jet will adopt vertical take-off and landing..."
Based on the concept of unmanned combat, all warships adopt unmanned combat methods. The staff on them are robots, the fighter jets are drones, and even the command system is an unmanned command system.
In the early stage, the sensor method was used. In this method, Zhang Group has strong technical reserves. Through the simulation warehouse and sensors, people can remotely control the equipment.
The entire ship is like a remotely controlled battleship. All staff are in a safe underground base. They use their respective virtual warehouses to control distant equipment in the underground base.
This is the first step, and it will be slowly improved in the future. Until it finally achieves true unmanned operation and adopts artificial intelligence control, it will be the real unmanned era.
"The cost of this cruise ship is as high as 200 billion yuan. We and China will share this cost. At the same time, we will jointly develop weapons and equipment. Also, the Chinese military wants to buy some of our technologies..."
Hearing this, Zhang Fan nodded.
"Technically, we will not sell it for the time being. However, there is no problem with joint research and development. We also need to have our trump card. Otherwise, we will be too passive in the future..."
Zhang Fan said in a low voice. Joint research and development, each of them develops what they are good at. If the private sector is good at artificial intelligence, they will research remote control systems.
If China is good at something, it will study what it is good at. It separates a weapon, develops its own accessories, and then combines these accessories to form advanced weapons and equipment.
In this way, it not only saves money, but also makes the weapons more advanced. At the same time, it can unite allies, which is a good choice.
However, in this way, the relationship between allies will be more stringent. But now the relationship between the private sector and China has no problem at all.
Private Territory and Huaxia are definitely closer than brothers, just like a father-son relationship. Private Territory cannot live without Huaxia, and even the financial system has a direct relationship with China.
What's more, most of the regular employees of Private Land are from China. So at least in a short period of time, Private Land and China have an iron-clad relationship.
Joint research and development is the best way now. At the same time, it can also make the fastest leap forward in weapons and equipment technology.
Zhang Fan has too many good things in his hands. There are a lot of good things exchanged from the system. These technologies, coupled with China's foundation, can achieve rapid weapon and equipment upgrades.
The current international situation is still tense, and the rise of China has shaken the status of the United States. The United States is also now thinking of ways. For the United States, it may use force in the future.
After all, there is still a big gap between China and the United States in terms of armaments. Although the United States may not use force against China, it is very likely to launch a war to alleviate domestic conflicts and plunder the wealth of other countries.
We have to beware that China's military expenditure is also increasing every year. Especially the navy and air force, especially the navy, the gap is too big.
However, once this super cruise ship achieves good experimental results, China's navy can quickly rise. When equipped with China's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier construction and direct unmanned stealth fighters, the combat effectiveness of such an aircraft carrier battle group will be even greater
powerful.
"In that case, let's start building."
Zhang Fan issued the order. The construction time of the entire ship was very short. Using a completely new construction method, it only took one year to complete the ship for sea trials.
If all goes well, the ship will be officially launched at this time next year. Then there will be training and experiments. The future situation will change rapidly, and private owners must be fully prepared.
